Overview
The Temagami Outfitting Company is located in the village of Temagami, in the True North of Northern Ontario Canada. The company was established nearly a century ago and is the only outfitter with its main base in town. The company’s first owner, Arthur Stevens, came to Temagami in 1905 and ran the business until 1945. Early outfitting records show green 16-foot cedar canvas canoes renting for $1.00. Other gear, including tents, rented for just pennies a day. Over the years, it has become a rendezvous point for canoeists and adventurers paddling through the region, many of whom have traveled from all over the world to experience this pristine wilderness.
Today Dean Pearson and his family with over 35 years of canoeing and guiding experience in the Temagami region own and operate The Temagami Outfitting Company.
